Mobile phones' effect on child behaviour

The latest research to receive high profile attention in the British national press is a paper studying the affect of pre- and post-natal exposure to mobile phones on young children. The primary author published the only other paper on this issue in 2008, finding that both exposures were associated with an increase in misbehaviour in the children by the age of 7. This association was particularly marked with prenatal exposure (mother's exposure whilst pregnant with the child).

Are Diseases Caused by 'Dirty Electricity'?

Kitsap Sun

In a new book, ?Dirty Electricity,? Dr. Milham makes the case that some of the diseases that have been the scourge of the last century (cancer, diabetes, etc.) may well be linked with the increasing exposure humans have had to electromagnetic fields (EMF) since the electrification of the civilized world.

Educating people about the dangers of EMR

Hi Andrew

Is this video any help in educating people about the dangers of EMR?

[Animation of the Inner Life of a Cell]

http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2010/12/01/amazing-video-animation-of-the-inner-life-of-a-cell.aspx

Martin

Thanks Martin,

It's a great video and shows in graphic detail what really goes on inside cells. In a sense, it's quite scary with what looks like monster robots clambering around. However, most of what they do depends on electrostatic attractions between molecules and we upset these at our peril.

By the way, did you see my response to the PC World article on WiFi and tree damage. It is on my Facebook wall, but surprise surprise PC World did not post it. I will paste it in below. It may be useful since it is a brief summary of what I believe are the main mechanisms underlying tree damage by by mobile telecommunications. Please feel free to use it as you see fit.

Best wishes
Andrew

P.S. I have just come back from walking the dogs in a local park with a large Vodafone tower in the corner. Many trees are dead or dying and others have not dropped their leaves this year; they are brown and dead but still firmly attached. This is a sign that their "body clocks" have been disrupted since leaf fall is normally an active response to short days. Since their immune systems are also controlled by their body clocks, the outlook is not good for them either.

Andrew Goldsworthy

Many people make the mistake that the only way non-ionising radiation from Wi-Fi and mobile phones can damage living cells is due to its heating effect. If this were true, everything would be fine, but sadly it is not.

Most of the damage is done by a direct electrical effect on cell membranes, which can occur at signal... strengths that are thousands of times lower. The bulk of the damage is done, not by the microwaves themselves but by the sudden stops and starts of the signal when it is modulated to carry the digital information.

This jerks free some of the calcium ions that normally stabilise cell membranes so that they leak. Leaky membranes can give all sorts of unwanted biological effects, both on animals and plants. See http://tinyurl.com/34gvn29

Another effect is on the pigment cryptochrome, which occurs in both animals and plants as part of the biological clocks that control our natural body rhythms. Cryptochrome works by flipping an electron back and forth between two parts of the molecule causing the temporary generation of free radicals, which makes it extremely sensitive to magnetic fields and radio waves.

Some animals such as birds and insects have tweaked it to be sensitive to the direction of the earth's magnetic field for navigation, but for most of us, it's just part of our internal clocks. For example, living near a cell tower can disrupt our sleep patterns, making it harder to sleep at night and feel more tired during the day (don't sleep next to a Wi-Fi router or DECT base station either).

Plants too have rhythms that control, amongst other things, their immune systems. If these rhythms were to be disrupted by radio waves, at no time could the immune system function it maximum efficiency and the plant would become more susceptible to disease.

Plants also use their biological clocks to measure the length of the day to control photoperiodic responses such the time of flowering and the dropping of leaves in the fall. One thing you can look out for this winter is to see how many trees around WiFi antennas and cell towers have not dropped their leaves this year.

'The Health Effects of Electromagnetic Fields'

Commonwealth Club of California - November 18, 2010

Please see video footage from the Commonwealth Club EMF Program, Nov 18, 2010, "The Health Effects of Electromagnetic Fields", is now posted on ElectromagneticHealth.org. You can view it here: http://electromagnetichealth.org/electromagnetic-health-blog/cc-video/ .

Radiation emitted by cell phones and cell towers has been linked to DNA damage, cancer, immunological impairment, neurological diseases, impaired fertility and impacts on neurological function, including cognition, behavior, performance, mood status, and disruption of sleep. The radiation is also harming animals and nature, and is as much an environmental as human health issue. The program below from the Commonwealth Club of California presented riveting scientific and health policy presentations about the little known consequences of telecommunications technologies, electrification and new utility technologies like Smart Meters. Important new research was presented on EMF impacts on DNA, heart function and the role of electrification in the diseases of civilization, such as heart disease, diabetes, cancer and suicide.

I would like to thank Camilla Rees for organizing this very important event. Ms. Rees is Founder of ElectromagneticHealth.org

An excerpt:

?Local doctors who have nothing to gain financially are coming out asking for the project to be slowed down,? Boxer-Cook said Thursday, ?while CMP?s hired scientists from out of state are saying smart meters are healthy and dismissing our concerns.?

Boxer-Cook said the majority of the data CMP?s expert testimony cites comes from Exponent, a California engineering company that has come under fire from critics for delivering results that companies want to hear, including providing tobacco companies with testimony that second-hand smoke does not cause cancer.

?All of the health testimony has come from this firm that has a reputation for minimizing health risks,? Boxer-Cook said.

Senators Snowe, Warner Introduce Legislation to Increase Wireless Coverage

http://bignews.biz/?id=948530&keys=Senator-Mark-Warner-WirelessCoverage

Comment by Alasdair Philips ( http://www.powerwatch.org.uk ):

Unless people reduce their use of mobile phones, this will eventually happen in every city and town in the world. It is driven by the incessant and almost constant orgy of cellphone use made by people using their mobile/cellphone wherever they are. I agree that the only sensible(?) workable way to deliver this is to install an ever increasing number of micro- and femto- basestations inside buildings and transport.

While people continue to deny the adverse health effects and use and (importantly!) pay for their mobile phone services, both industry and governments will encourage their use and more and more of these small fill-in basestations will be added to the networks. It doesn't even require legislation to make this happen. Many large buildings in London have had both micro and femto cell basestations for some years now.

60% of mobile internet use is from INSIDE buildings??? Is this a reaction to many companies removing general internet access from many of their employees to stop time-wasting and employees secretly browsing on their iphone instead?

We need a change in consciousness in society. One day I believe general cellphone use will be regarded as a worse hazard than smoking. Until we change our relationship with cellphone we will get more and more electrosmog - with or without extra legislation. We are currently in a situation like the lemmings running and falling over a cliff edge that they don't even realise is in front of them.

and you will find that the AVERAGE USA cellphone user now spends (an average of) 25 minutes per day on cellphone voice calls! (Women are nearer to 30 minutes per day and men nearer to 20 minutes per day)

That is apparently the average based on analysing the bills of 60,000 USA cellphone users for one year (April 2009 - March 2010).

I know a number of people who claim to use their mobile for more than 2 hours every day - a few say "about 5 hours most days/evenings".
